Hi, When is the earliest wart visible in case of HPV infection in the mouth?

The strains of HPV that affect the mouth most often do not give symptoms. You wouldn't see visible warts in your mouth like you would on the genitals.

Is this still from the encounter last year, or have you had other risk?

Hi auntiejessi, I have had other risk. I gave oral to a man that I don’t know well. It was short but deep. I actually don’t have unsafe sex unless I am drunk. Two weeks later after the encounter (three days ago) , something like a lentil-sized wart appeared on my tonsil and it’s still there. When I swallow it feels like something is stuck there. Can warts appear in such a short time? Thank you for your attention.
No, that wouldn't be a wart, but you should see a doctor. There are things called tonsil stones and it may be that you have that.

It's absolutely unrelated to STIs, and you don't need to mention oral sex to your doctor, though if it will make you feel better, be honest with them.

HPV doesn't give you warts orally. It's the strains that give you no symptoms that affect you orally.

If you are doing risky things while drunk, maybe it's time to look at your drinking, too. No judgement - I just want you to be okay.
I certainly need to reconsider my drinking habit. You have a great heart auntiejessie. I am grateful to you. Love…
Thanks for the kind words. <3
Hi again auntiejessie, sorry to bother you. I did something bad, googled. I read something about oral warts and saw lots of photos of people with oral warts. What you said yesterday made me so happy but now I am extremely worried. I am really sorry for bothering you.
I just googled images of that, and what I saw mostly looked like canker sores.

If you have something on your tonsil, see a doctor. Whatever you google is going to make you very anxious, and won't answer any of your questions about what is in your throat.

Feeding your anxiety isn't doing you any good. Just go see a doctor.

Greetings.
HPV warts vary greatly in terms of time and place of appearing so timeline is not reliable to diagnose or exclude those.
Nobody can give you the exact time you are asking for.
